THE LEAD – Lesley University junior keeper Josh Angulo-Gonzalez (Malden, Mass.) tied the single-game program record with 15 saves in a 5-2 setback vs. Fisher College on Wednesday evening in men's collegiate soccer action at Harry Della Russo Stadium.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The squads traded PK goals in the opening stanza to take a 1-1 score into intermission. Junior Miguel Vasconcelos (Sharon, Mass.) converted his first collegiate penalty attempt to even the score at 1-all after the hosts took an early lead on a PK conversion by Leonardo Di Biase in the 15^th minute.
• Lesley briefly took a 2-1 lead early in the second frame as senior Adrian Esparragoza (New York, N.Y.) rifled a shot from the right wing that forced Gino Gervasoni to make a diving save to his right only for LU senior forward Nick Wadleigh (Glastonbury, Conn.) to clean up the rebound for his first goal of the campaign to give the visitors a one-goal cushion in the 53^rd minute.
• Di Biase found the back of the net with his second penalty of the match in the 68^th minute to knot the score at 2-2 before the wheels came off the tracks for the Lynx down the stretch as Di Biase converted his third score of the match for the hat trick in the 78^th minute for the Falcon's eventual game-winner to make it 3-2 on a scrum in front of the Lesley net.
• Less than two minutes later, Fisher added an insurance goal to bump its lead to 4-2 on a marker by Santiago Blancuzzi before Alejandro Granados finished the scoring with a bicycle kick volley finish off a Andres Ruiz free kick with just under six minutes remaining in regulation to account for the 5-2 final.
